Glad you understand I was commenting about myself and not disrespecting anyone who is interested in these things. Unless of course they NEED disrespecting, and then, you know I'm right there.
My lack of interest in football has a story behind it. I wasn't exposed to it much at all until I was about 12 - I went to schools where baseball was the primary sport - and at that point, it seemed to me to be essentially a tool for sadistic adults who like to abuse children and make them suffer. There's altogether too much shouting, talking through the nose, and people jumping all over each other. Not much of a story, but that's it. My problems with christianity are far more complex. Worldviews with a primary basis in mythology contribute to the etiology of a wide variety of society's ills and evils, while claims of positive contribution tend to be exaggerated.
However, unlike you, I do think that football and christianity go nicely together. Doubles my feeling of accomplishment when I switch off my TV.
